It claimed that the driver \u201ccrashed after going without food or drink for 15 hours during Ramadan\u201d. It reported that \u201crail accident experts claimed his fast caused the rush-hour derailment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The article went on to report that the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) was \u201cunable to conclude that fasting was a factor in the crash. But it pointed out studies showed not eating can cause \u2018sleepiness and reduction in concentration which can result in safety concerns\u2019\u201d. The article also reported that the company operating the train in question had said that its drivers were \u201cregularly briefed and monitored for competence\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"action-taken\">Action taken<\/h3>\n<p>RAIB was one of several complainants to <abbr title=\"Independent Press Standards Organisation\">IPSO<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"outcome\">Outcome<\/h3>\n<p>The complaint was upheld. The online version of the story was removed. On 19 November, a printed correction appeared on page 2 of The Sun.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">In a story \u2018Ramadan Train Driver in Crash\u2019 (20 Aug) we implied that Rail Accident Investigation Branch said the cause of the derailment at Paddington was that the driver had been fasting during Ramadan. In fact they were unable to conclude that fasting was a factor in the crash on evidence available, although they observed that there is research showing that fasting can affect people\u2019s concentration levels. It was also stated that the driver of a derailed train ran through TWO red lights at London\u2019s Paddington Station. In fact the two red lights were on the same signal.
